Best live performance you've ever seen?

A small time Aussie band called Twin City Faction was the most fun I've had at a show. Musically it would be Mars Volta though.
 
Pearl Jam last summer was def the best show that I've ever seen out of all of the concerts I've been to. Closely followed by any Gob show that I've ever been to
 
Strapping Young Lad 2003 - for intensity and seeing Townsend live
Amen BDO 2002- for Casey Chaos's stage show
Thrice - best weekend on my life (full road trip to Melbourne) with a drumstick as a trophy
Steve Vai - for musical craziness
Thursday BDO 2004 - Jet Black New year never sounded so good
Poison The Well 2004 - My Mirror No Longer Reflects live...no more comment

I have seen so many shows and sets but these bad boys stand out from the rest.
 
Zwan was way up there for me as well. Let me ash you, did it take like 90 minutes for Billy to finally come out after the opener? When I saw them it was the longest I had ever waited.
 
Becasue of Ghosts in a dingy little inner-sydney pub. Damm weird shit. Could have been what I was on though. Instrumental group out of Melbourne.

Radiohead at the Sydney Ent center. The excellence of Radiohead more than compensated for the crappiness of the entertainment center. Too bad the support band really, really, really sucked. Just as good was someone offering us $220 for an $80 ticket when someone couldn't make it.
 
HanRAB down, it'd be the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at bimbo's a year ago in San Francisco.
Karen O. was so drunk but she was getting so into the songs and all the fans there.. were really fans.
 
80's Bline f*****g rock! They'd be in my top two as well. When I saw them the lead guy was either shouting and screaming, crying down the mic, diving through the crowd or flying into the other band members! Crazy stuff!

Second for me would be another british band called Muse
 
I've never been to a Phish show in person, but I've heard their recorded sets, and they are absolutely amazing. Same goes for Primus's live sets, incredible. I hope that I get a chance to see one of these banRAB live someday.
